Stable Isotopic Analysis of Carbon and Nitrogen as an Indicator of Paleodietary Change among Pre-State Metal Age Societies in Northeast Thailand

by Christopher A. King

Using northeast Thailand as a model, this work uses stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen to infer paleodietary change in subtropical monsoon Asia. It is hypothesized that in northeast Thailand during the pre-state Metal Age (2000 B.C. to A.D. 500) there are distinct differences among the populations during this time period which coincide with human induced environmental changes and developments of alternative subsistence technologies. It is further...
